Not Great, but fun!
This is an odd Doctor Who story because it should be excellent, but falls far short.
The cast are stunning, even Ken Dodd puts in a interesting performance. Don Henderson plays a superbly menacing villain, and Rachel Griffiths should probably have been kept on as a companion.
Stubby Kaye, Hugh Lloyd and many others make this a visually entertaining tale.
For some reason though, it fails to work. It should be a great romp, unfortunately the Bannermenr themselves are awful, the time travelling holidaymakers are pointless, and the production feels very flat. This is a surprise considering the era it is set in, the holiday camp location and Sylvester McCoy's slowly darkening Doctor should have made this a potential classic.
